Hi,
I have a couple of old Dell Optiplex SFF PCs, a 7010 with an i5-3470 @3.2GHz and 3020 i5-3470@3.2Ghz (active and backup) both equipped with igb0 dual nic cards. I noticed that the 7010 had two 16x PCI slots so added two intel x550-t2 cards and replaced the 3020. With the 3020 I was getting latency issues connecting to the upstream router, since swapping no issues.
When I ping the Opnsense (Optiplex 7010) LAN interface, WAN interface and the upstream router, the results are as follows
LAN round-trip (ms) min/avg/max/stddev = 0.128/0.149/0.288/0.028
WAN round-trip (ms) min/avg/max/stddev = 0.139/0.166/0.299/0.036
Router round-trip (ms) min/avg/max/stddev = 0.387/0.598/2.268/0.367 (not a direct connection but via 4 port switch)
I have ordered a second Dell Optiplex 7010 as a backup to current Optiplex 7010.
With reference to CPU utilisation it peaks around 15% with 15 clients accessing the internet
